Where is it from and has this been tested fir cadmium? Thanks

European Union will impose a limit for cadmium in cocoa powders of 0.6 µg per gram of cocoa powder, and 0.8 µg per gram for chocolate with >= 50% total dry cocoa solids. In Canada, a daily serving of a natural health product must contain no more than 6 µg of cadmium for an individual weighing 150 pounds (68 kg) and 3 µg for a 75 lb (34 kg) individual.

Is this raw organic cacao powder? It doesn't say raw on the bag online

From the description on the bag: "... sourced from prized Peruvian Criollo beans, exceptionally rare and wholesome beans ... cultivated in rich volcanic soils. ... After the shells are delicately peeled, out cacao beans are pressed into a velvety paste and slowly ground into a fine delicate powder, retaining ... antioxidants ...Hope That Helps,DB

So this product has the cal prop warning that it does contain chemicals?

The current packaging for this product is new. I mention this because the prior packaging had a different look and no California Prop warning. I am guessing the packaging (bag) may be harmful and not the cocoa powder. I have been using this product for years and it is certified organic. Just a note, it has come out recently that fast food packaging (wrappers) have chemicals that may be toxic. You can drive yourself crazy trying to figure out what is safe and what is not.

How much nutrition is lost putting powder in coffee or hot water? Boiled vs just hot? Is there any benefit to drinking the solids that settle?

Hello,Unfortunately, cacao is quite sensitive to heat. While fiber and protein remain intact, nutrients and powerful compounds may be lost when heated to boiling point. We recommend consuming our cacao powder in its natural form, or added to warm foods and liquids. I hope that this information has been helpful, and if you have any additional questions or concerns please do not hesitate to message me at vivian@vivalabs.comSincerely,VivianViva Labs Customer Care
